Chapter 284

Muhamugas's Chaotic Realm

Aha!

Chaotic Mage

Reckless Chant

A spell even more of a trap than the Wish Technique, a nightmare for non‑nerd professionals.

You will never know whether the next moment you face will be a warm healing light or a meteor bearing a destructive aura.

The unknown, the chaos, yet imbued with a captivating magic—only those whose obsessive souls correspond can wield this primal, wild power.

Dense thunder boomed across the earth.

When the lightning faded, the frenzied mage seemed as if someone had clamped a hand around his throat.

The enemies shrouded in lightning suffered no casualties, and they stepped forward with steady strides, continuing to close in on him.

... no.

The frenzied mage raged in fury; he could not believe that his super spell, which rolled a 20-point critical success, had returned in vain.

The chaotic power coalesced again in his hand.

"Throw!" the cold command rang out.

Several spears, each bearing the sound of cutting through air, shot out from the Square Formation, easily piercing the frenzied mage's magical shield before pinning him to the ground.

Even though his body was pierced, the frenzied mage did not interrupt the spell's brewing; instead, he resolutely maintained the spell.

... no.

A thin thread of abnormal crimson, heralding madness, crept up the frenzied mage's cheek, and in the next instant, an intensely violent flash erupted from his hand!

It was as if a small sun rose here, and immediately a mushroom cloud rose directly around the frenzied mage, spanning several meters in radius.

Self-Destruct Technique!

Mu Yi waved his hand, the killing wind blew away the smoke, and as he looked at the frenzied mage, dead with no place to be buried, he revealed a satisfied smile.

The Bull Totem's enhancement effect

An 18th‑level boss mage was completely taken down with a formation of only four hundred people, whose average level was merely around 13.

Human Daoist Soldiers

"Based on the current scale, perhaps we could easily slay a Legend creature?"

Unwittingly, Mu Yi had already shifted his full attention onto the Legend, and the creatures beneath the Legend, even boss monsters, no longer held any challenge value for him.

Ordinary Legend creatures actually no longer possess any challenge value for Mu Yi.

Legendary Dragon Blood Barbarian Ox

This would have been unimaginable in the past, but now Mu Yi can do it with ease; since slaying He Luo Shen, Legends are no longer unbeatable foes for Mu Yi.

However, having personally witnessed the great power of high‑tier Legends, Mu Yi did not become arrogant; instead, he steadily enhanced his strength, fully elevating the power he could command.

The Strategist's war conscription

Just as Mu Yi led his team back to the main world, a message from a Zongwang Player friend refreshed on Mu Yi's retina.

"You have a new Zongwang Player friend message; please check the Zongwang Player panel to retrieve it."

Mu Yi opened it directly with his mind, and instantly a message presented as a letter refreshed on his retina.

These days he rarely receives messages from those friends; the gap in power creates distance, and Mu Yi's rate of advancement is so rapid that few can keep up.

Lily of the Silver Moon Empire

To Zongwang Players beyond Jiuzhou, it seems less that Princess Liliana Brenda can keep pace with Mu Yi's progress, and more that Mu Yi can keep pace with her progress.

However, anyone from Jiuzhou knows even better that Mu Yi is far ahead.

The Silver Moon Goddess is a powerful deity, but behind Mu Yi stand even more and stronger deities.

Mu Yi and Lily keep in touch regularly, but both have their own affairs, and it has been some time since they last met.

Epic Challenge Dungeon

Heroic Spirit Trial

According to the information Lily described, this epic Challenge Dungeon's content is the Heroic Spirit Trial, that is, facing the old Heroic Spirits.

As Heroic Spirits that can be recorded by the world, at worst they are boss monsters of the hero template, and there are also a great many Legends.

Mu Yi is very interested in this Challenge because the Heroic Spirit Fragments produced by this Dungeon can grant followers skills and specialties, and also drop various weapon curios; it is a Challenge Dungeon with very generous rewards.

Of course, the generous rewards correspond to an extremely difficult difficulty.

Mu Yi gladly accepted Lily's invitation and joined this Challenge Dungeon.

Lily responded quickly; within moments, Mu Yi received the Zongwang message.

"Your Zongwang Player friend has gifted you a Heroic Spirit Trial Dungeon challenge ticket!"

"Detected that the character possesses a Dungeon challenge ticket; activate it?"

... no.

"Consuming 1 Dungeon challenge ticket, transporting the character to the Dungeon scene..."

Terraria Plane

Heroic Spirit Trial: Terraria

... no.

Challenge Dungeon level: 15‑30

... no.

Tairuiya is a birthplace of flourishing civilization, where humans, elves, orcs… various races prospered and grew, but the invasion of the Abyss Demon destroyed everything.

Ultimately, through the successive sacrifices of heroes from many races, Tairuiya defeated the Abyss Demon and rescued the world from the abyss's grasp.

The fallen Heroic Spirits are remembered by the world; they linger on this land that was once their home, awaiting the arrival of successors to receive their power, to better protect this world.

Defeat the Heroic Spirit!

Or gain his recognition!

Challenge clearance conditions:

Defeat at least one elite-level heroic spirit; obtain the recognition of one elite-level heroic spirit, otherwise you cannot leave the current challenge dungeon until the challenge dungeon ends.

(Defeating multiple elite-level heroic spirits will increase your clearance reward)

Death will not exit this dungeon; you will respawn immediately within this dungeon's area, while suffering a soul weakness penalty.

ps: Warning, elite heroic spirits have extremely strong combat power, possessing combat power at the peak of the same challenge level.

ps: After the number of players attacking the heroic spirit exceeds three, the heroic spirit will automatically summon companions to join the battle.

ps: Within this dungeon scene, when a challenger dies or leaves combat, the heroic spirit will recover to full condition in a short time.

Dungeon rewards: equipment (epic~legendary), curios (epic~legendary), heroic spirit fragments (epic~legendary), special items.

ps: All heroic spirits may drop epic-tier items, but only elite-level or higher heroic spirits have a chance to drop legendary-tier items and also have a relatively higher chance to drop epic-tier items.

ps: Slaying an elite-level or higher heroic spirit gives a certain chance to obtain a Holy Challenge Invitation; after using it, the player gains the opportunity to challenge the sealed Abyss Demon.

Slaying the Abyss Demon will yield a Heroic Spirit Seal, which allows you to obtain the drop rewards of any heroic spirit you defeat.

(Severe warning: The sealed Abyss Demon is a real unit; dying in the challenge will cause soul damage, with a chance of soul death.)

Mu Yi watched the dungeon information appear on his retina, stroked his chin, and it seemed this dungeon still had some hidden content.

So-called Heroic Spirit Trial is actually about selecting warriors capable of exterminating demons?

Mu Yi always felt it wasn't that simple.

Looking around, Mu Yi saw a battlefield.

From the various remaining traces, one can see how brutal this war was, yet no heroic spirits were seen.

Only Zongwang players could be seen continuously being teleported nearby.

Not long after, this spawn point became lively:

"Again this broken world, wasn't it said the first two times were this world? How come the third time is still this one!"

"Come get two reliable teammates, an 18th-level paladin, can fight, can tank, can heal!"

"Selling elite heroic spirit distribution maps, with a challenge guide, 5000 Zongwang Disaster Coins each, letting you get a step ahead, accepting equivalent magic items and materials, welcome to buy on credit."

……

The chaotic noise made Mu Yi frown slightly; frankly, he hadn't participated in such a dungeon with many Zongwang players gathered for a long time, always giving him a feeling of discomfort.

"Yi!"

Just as Mu Yi was considering whether to buy a distribution map, Lily appeared before him with her maid Aili.

"You'd better not trust that guy; he's a follower of the God of Deception!"

Lilyanna shared with Mu Yi a detailed map, as well as information on most heroic spirits.

"Is his map fake?" Mu Yi asked, puzzled.

"Nine true, one false; it's hard to tell!"

Lily looked at the other party with a disgusted expression, while the other party enthusiastically waved at Mu Yi, appearing like a warm-hearted stranger who acts like an old friend.

Mu Yi glanced at the players present; under the Thousand-mile Eye's gaze, most players' strengths were obvious, the light emanating from the energy within their bodies.

However, a small portion of people directly blocked Mu Yi's spying.

Undoubtedly, those who choose to challenge Abyss mode are hardly weaklings; these are players who have some confidence in their solo combat ability.

They are undoubtedly outstanding, all being strong individuals who attract much attention.

This is a carnival of the strong, though not limited to players……

Sometimes, before truly facing a strong opponent, people always have blind confidence in themselves.

Mu Yi withdrew his gaze; it's not that he's overthinking, in this challenge the opponents are not just those heroic spirits.

The Zongwang players present could all become their competitors, after all, many evil and chaotic faction players are mixed among them.

Mu Yi noticed a player resembling an Abyss Demon giving him a subtle glance, seemingly having some ideas about him.

"Do you have a target you want to challenge?"

Mu Yi withdrew his gaze; for enemies seeking death, he has never been lenient.

"Here, there is a legendary mage; her spells are interesting, a type I haven't recorded before!" Lily pointed to an area on the map.

From their spawn point, there is a considerable distance, and it lies in the central area.

The map information provided by Lilyanna is very detailed, almost covering the entire dungeon battlefield; most heroic spirits have been marked, showing this is a map that aggregates a lot of intelligence.

The battlefield's range is vast, and there is also a city at its center; the total area is astonishingly large, yet for the Zongwang players here it is not considered a particularly distant distance.

The challenge dungeon lasts seven days, enough for them to traverse every inch of land.

Of course, the premise of digging three feet deep is that they can defeat the heroic spirits stationed in this area.

The map indicates that these heroic spirits basically possess strong perception abilities, and the city center has a great detection eye, meaning that the invisibility effect produced by ordinary stealth or other spell-like abilities is ineffective.

Not only on the ground, but also in the sky there are multiple heroic spirits, and these heroic spirits are stronger than those on the ground; the most striking is a dragon knight circling the firmament.

Compared to other legendary heroic spirits, this dragon knight appears exceptionally strong, after all, the opponent additionally includes a legendary dragon, causing the difficulty to surge sharply.

It is precisely because of this dragon knight's existence that the vast majority of players have directly abandoned the idea of flying.

Surrounded by wolves, bearing the soul weakness penalty is not a good choice.

Moreover, according to legend, the heroic spirits in the sky are far more than just a single dragon knight.

The density of heroic spirits on the ground is high; even near the spawn point there are over a hundred heroic spirits.

According to incomplete statistics, there are tens of thousands of heroic spirits on this battlefield; the heroic spirits in the city are stronger and denser, and the battlefield's brutality is almost self-evident.

"Let's go, go straight ahead, speed up a bit!"

Mu Yi reached out and traced a route on the map.

Mu Yi! Is this too risky! We……

Maid Aili couldn't help but voice her opinion, only because the route Mu Yi drew, based on the shortest distance, covered the most Heroic Spirits, meaning they would have to engage in high-intensity combat, with danger rising sharply.

She knows Lily's power, but facing a Legend beyond their level is always dangerous; even if they have previously defeated a Legend, they should still maintain reverence for Legends.

Aili, on the other hand, prefers to conserve strength, avoid meaningless battles, and head straight to the area where the mages are.

"Aili!" Lily shook her head, stopping Aili's questioning.

"Looks like you've gotten stronger again!" A strange expression flashed in Lily's eyes.

"Yeah, I'm terrifyingly strong now!" Mu Yi waved his hand, revealing a confident smile.
